I can twist gravity in my grasp and make it as illogical as love.

I am learning to shape myself to be softer. More graceful. More willing to understand I can be a balanced masculine and a feminine energy and accept myself wholly this year.

Be whole, not just physically but mentally.

Are there any vegan pole dancers out there that have found vegan friendly pole grip that works?? I recently brought one online after months of sweaty hands but it doesn’t really work..

Masonry Mitts on Ravelry. Made with Cascade 220.

I made these back in May for mother’s day, and then Kylie was nice enough to take these wonderful photos for me. I played a bit of yarn chicken with these - I think I had about two yards left over at the end of them, and I really wasn’t sure that I was going to make it to the end for a while there!

I’m happy with how they turned out, and would definitely make them again. I think they would also look nice shorter, as more of a hand warmer. I am also thinking about adapting them to make a mug cozy - we will see what happens!

Ok so question

I am like REAL into creepy shit. Avant garde, the macabre, unsettling things, the grotesque, the surreal, weird shit. And I LOVE butoh for that reason, among others.

Is there a style of pole dance that incorporates this sort of thing? Like, being sexy is fun, but being UNSETTLING is way better (for me, at least). Like I’ve seen contemporary dance incorporated, hip hop too, but what about like butoh? Does that go too far against what butoh is and is about?

I feel like there’s gotta be something like this out there. Anybody point me in the direction?

So I got my pole!!

But it turns out, my ceilings are too high. I need another extension on it before I can install it…. so I’ve ordered a tape measure to figure out what kind of extension I need, and will be ordering the extensions this week once it arrives!

I need to order a few other things with the extensions. Cleaning alcohol and a mat are deffo on the list, but I’m thinking I want to try getting some gloves as well. My hands just get so goddamn sweaty. Anybody worked with them before? Any recommendations for them?

Found a pole on Ebay and am going to pick it up today! Just have to find someone to install it at home and then I’ll have an at-home pole to practice with!
